This show all things considered was a mess and it's honestly just a place for people with a gore fetish. It didn't help that the characters on this show began vanishing faster than the members of Trump's staff which is far from a good thing. Granted I enjoy watching fictional characters I don't care for die, but did it really have to take 24 episodes? Shortening it to twelve would've been way better since it would've just been the same.
The dub is the only somewhat redeemable thing about it besides some of the characters. It was nice to see both Alison Keith and Christine Auten in another show since they hadn't shown up in a while. I also really enjoyed Molly Searcy as Akame and David Wald as Bullet. Not to mention it was nice to see a Sentai dub on Toonami, since the only other show to do so (and I'm probably wrong about this) was Parasyte. However even that doesn't save it from being c---.

Having recently finished this show, I can certainly say that it was a chore to sit through; the 24-episode count felt longer for some reason. There was so much wasted potential here. I liked both the animation quality and Taku Iwasaki's score, but couldn't give a crap about anything else in AGK. Characters are bland as cereal boxes, the writing childish, and the contrast between dark seriousness and humor worked against it, tbqh. I would've enjoyed this a bit more if the tongue was planted firmly in cheek.

On a more positive note, Sentai's English dub is very good judging by the first four episodes only; compared to their Guin Saga and Medaka Box ones, it's a welcome case of a Growing the Beard moment for them.
